MyMT™ understands the importance and relevance of medical support

My Menopause Transformation (MyMT™) understands the importance and relevance of medical support for many women suffering moderate to severe symptoms as they transition into and through natural menopause in their mid-life years.

MyMT™ does not interfere with or replace any medical advice. It gives research-proven practical lifestyle information and behaviour-change support to women transitioning into and through menopause.

“Menopause is a crossroads. It is an ideal time for women to make decisions about how they are going to live the next third of their life. Women need to develop a lifestyle that includes healthy eating and adequate exercise in the long term.”

What we do:

MyMT™ is an on-line lifestyle behaviour-change support tool for women transitioning into and through menopause.

MyMT™ aims to educate and support women to pro-actively manage their own menopause experience. Our research-verified 12 Step Lifestyle Change Program has been designed as twelve easy-to-complete steps which lead and support women through this journey. The information provided for women and delivered in a 12-STEP progressive program aims to educate them about the lifestyle-changes that might assist them to improve moderate to severe symptoms experienced during the menopause transition. This includes hot flashes/ flushes, sleep management and if required, weight loss.

MyMT™ works co-operatively and responsibly with medical practitioners and allied health professionals.

We offer an adjunct program, with a similar focus to New Zealand’s Green Prescription lifestyle-change strategy. Our focus is just on women during their menopause years and the support some might need to facilitate a healthier ageing.

MyMT™ screens all on-line clients before registering them on the program.

This is STEP 1 of the 12-STEP Program. The Pre-Activity (Par-Q) screening tool used is approved and recommended by the New Zealand Register of Exercise Professionals, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Council on Exercise (ACE). A medical exclusion process is adhered to.

MyMT™ uses the 10-Item Cervantes Scale Menopause Symptom Test.

Who designed the Program?

The lifestyle-change program has been designed by Wendy Sweet [B.Phys Ed (Univ. of Otago); M. Sport & Leisure Studies; PhD (Univ. of Waikato)].

An award-winning exercise professional with over 30 years’ experience, Wendy’s doctoral thesis explored women’s healthy ageing experiences at mid-life and her Master’s thesis explored lifestyle behaviour change in the context of personal training.

Drawing on her own research as well as her personal experience transitioning into her mid-life years and her extensive practical experience working in the fitness industry and in sport, health and exercise education, Wendy brings this to the design and development of MyMT™.
